No I don't, and that's part of the problem. There is not a real GM. It's Jerry masquerading as one with advisors who at times turn into yes men
The day to day work that a GM does is done by Will McClay, and he's solid. Been courted by several teams over the years, but JJ takes good care of him. I don't worry about that type of stuff.
The problem currently, as I see it, is how contracts are handled. I THINK most of that work is done by Stephen and then Jerry comes in and out of those discussions. And I think Stephen has some diff thoughts than Jerry, but I think Stephen has questionable judgement, as well. the Zeke contract is a perfect example. Stephen has shown to be very frugal, and then they hauled off and did the Zeke thing when they really didn't have to....I suspect that Jerry got involved and wanted that to get done. That's some of the instances that still hurt this franchise.
Keep in mind, Stephen was the one that kept Jerry from drafting Johnny Football, so not everyone in the room is a yes man.
